Partly due to the help of a couple of lovely ladies on switchboards, I've calmed down past simmer, and I'm rapidly approaching the mildly amused at the insanity of it all stage. :)
The splendid Marc J runs everything to do with my emails with unbelievable efficiency and a forgiving attitude towards an aged idiot . Perhaps it's because I keep giving him money? ;)
Or then again, today I didn't. :o:o A Paypal payment to him was refused, due to " an issue with the funding credit card ". It didn't say " expired", basically because it hadn't, and there was a lot of room before the limit would be reached. :confused::confused:
Eventually, after emailing lots of utter rubbish to Marc, I found out where to go next. ( No dear readers, not the pub, but a close run thing ) The lady on the switchboard was wonderful, and immediately spotted the root cause of the issue. The Butterfly Effect.
Apparently, the Bank had posted me a letter. It had been returned to them, alleging I didn't live here any more. The bank justifiably suspend the account immediately, which is sensible. My phone call cleared up this and a couple of minor issues, payments have been authorised again, and I'm wondering what in heaven's name happened in the Post Office. :daft:
All the posties know us, so where the foul up happened, I don't know. Let's hope it doesn't happen again.
